Assume the standard deviation is $\sigma = 66$ and let $\mu$ ₁the population mean number of points improved. To determine whether the program is effective, a test is made of the hypotheses $H _ { 0 } : \mu = 0$ versus $H _ { 1 } : \mu > 0$ . $\text { Do you reject } H _ { 0 } \text { at the } \alpha = 0.01 \text { level? }$
